What is the function of a STATOR?

Answer 1

It's a wire wound in coils around a bunch of cores. When your motorcycle is running, magnets move past the coils. This generates AC electricity. The AC electricity moves through a rectifier to make it DC, and a regulator to keep it down to the correct voltage. This DC current is then used to charge your battery, and run the lights, etc.

So the function of the stator is to be part of the electrical generation system of your motorcycle.

Answer 2

The stator is the stationary part of an electric motor or alternator. Depending on the configuration of the motor the stator may act as the field magnet, interacting with the armature to create motion. The stator may be either a permagnet or an electromagnet. Electromagnetic stators are used in wound field DC motors. The non-stationary part on an electric motor is the rotor.

Answer 3

Emucompboy's got it right.
The Magneto or Flywheel spins around the stationary stator to create elect to charge batt to run acessories..

Answer 4

--On a motorcycle - simply put, it is used to create electricity, to fire the spark plug and to charge the battery.
--The stator is a coil of wires wound, around and around and around in the shape of a big donut.
--The stator is stationary (bolted to the engine) and a flywheel spins around it.
--The flywheel is turned by the crankshaft of the engine, when the bike is running.
--The flywheel has magnets attached to it.
--Remember from science class, a magnet has a north and south pole and it emits an electromagnetic force.
--When the flywheel is spinning, the electromagnetic force emitted from the magnets, is obsorbed by the stator and is now electricity.

Answer 5

Well, that was a very good answer Mr. P. But tell us now, what the function of said stator is, kind sir.

Answer 6

acts like a magnet
